Order

The tenant’s name and identifying details including the tenancy address must not be published.
Uno Property Management Limited as agent for Brooklyn Residence Limited is granted possession of the premises at [tenancy address suppressed] at the end of 25 March 2024 .

Reasons

The hearing was conducted on Microsoft Teams.
David Liu attended for the landlord by video. The tenant attended by telephone.
The landlord has applied for possession of the premises following the termination of the tenancy on 13 December 2023.
The tenancy ended on 13 December 2023, which is less than 90 days ago. The requirements for a possession order of s 64(1) of the Residential Tenancies Act 1986 (RTA) are satisfied.
The tenant has only failed to move out because she cannot find a suitable replacement tenancy. The tenant’s name and identifying details are suppressed under s 95A(4) of the RTA because it would not be in the parties’ interests or the public interest to publish the tenant’s details. The tenant would find it yet more difficult to find a new tenancy if her name were published because landlords typically check the Tribunal’s decisions prior to accepting a prospective tenant. The mere appearance of the tenant’s name on this decision would likely mean, the tenant would not be granted a prospective tenancy. Here, the tenant’s failure to move out is brought about by circumstances beyond her control. She is meeting all of her other obligations such as paying rent, so publication would have a disproportionate effect. That would also inconvenience the landlord. The public interest is not served by slavish application of “open justice” at the cost of unfairness.
